During a meeting today with Mexico's Foreign Secretary, the Director of
Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, discussed the strong ongoing cooperation
between U.S. and Mexican officials aimed at ensuring our shared border
protects the physical security and economic wellbeing of both
countries. Governor Ridge will lead a delegation to Mexico in early
March to continue discussions with Mexico on creating a safe and smart
border for the 21st century that facilitates the legitimate flow of
goods and people between the United States and Mexico.
